The battle heats up and more comes forward in the case between Kik and RIM. Kik fired back in a defense statement to RIM that the creator of Kik, whom also is an ex-employee to RIM, had no access to sensitive information that may have aided Kik in creating their cross-platform instant messaging client in 2009. In the suit RIM alleges Kik has made a breach of confidentiality, trademark infringement, and patent infringement. See Kikís full Statement of Defense and Counterclaim (available here, 7MB PDF).
